Publication number: 20190151723Abstract: A golf club head with a variable center of gravity is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention discloses a wedge type golf club head wherein the center of gravity of the golf club head is adjustable along an x-axis in a heel to toe direction utilizing weights that are placed substantially near a sole portion of the golf club head. The resulting golf club head may generally have a more toe biased center of gravity location, especially when compared to a traditional golf club head. The present invention also discloses an innovative way to construct the golf club head to achieve those desirable center of gravity locations by utilizing various attachment techniques with different materials having different densities.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2019Publication date: May 23, 2019Applicant: Acushnet CompanyInventors: James P. Harrington, Oswaldo Gonzalez, Scott A. Knutson, Eddie G. Perez, Steven J. Forshner, Kenneth C. Scott

Patent number: 9421432Abstract: A golf club head is provided a weight system to adjust the center of gravity. In one embodiment, the weight system is a tube having a weight at one end that may be inserted into the golf club head to move the center of gravity at least forward and backward within 6 mm and up and down within 6 mm. Preferably, the tube is angled downward toward the face by at least 3 degrees. In another embodiment, the weight system may adjust the center of gravity of the golf club head along the x and z axis simultaneously using a weighted insert.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2014Date of Patent: August 23, 2016Assignee: Acushnet CompanyInventors: Darryl C. Galvan, Richard L. Cleghorn, Thomas Orrin Bennett, Mark C. Myrhum, Stephanie Bezilla, Eddie G. Perez, Richard Sanchez, Kenneth C. Scott, Stephen S. Murphy
